More cool jewellery

Here are some more of the Year 10 Product Designers' Jewellery.

Harry fuses Art Deco with Iron Man

Robbie's ring makes clever use of a second casting (bent) to form the ring back - genius!

Tim achieved some cracking precision with his piece.

Meera achieved a high quality finish.

And Nina models her new earrings 

Well done everyone! I'm hoping to get some more on here real soon!

How to cheat at sketching

I showed my year 9 groups how to "cheat" at sketching by tracing over photos and colouring them.

These sketches can then be used to show possible improvements.
